I do not know how many of you have played the new free to play AoE Online, but those who haven't, you better get your ass there right now! It's basically complete by now with more updates to come.
AoEO is your casual AoE game, build on the AoE3 engine, being a combination between the first AoE and AoM, with a bit of AoE3 in there as well, it is free to play (pay to win), playable from Steam or GFWL, if Steam says the game doesn't support your country, like in my case...
The gameplay, everybody knows it. Even the PVP is exactly the same, everybody rushing like hell, building bases around your back and other crap like that... I hate this kind of stuff, reason for why I don't play RTS games online. And when I do, I play with friends, and we play "by the book", enjoying every second, not rushing like the world is ending...
So, get it right now, and tell us what do you think about it?
